I thought it was quite a good idea tbh. Took stuff out, have it a wash and all fine

I have bought some stuff recently where it was in a small bag and vacuum packed. Turns up looking like a brick.

Very strong ‘closed won’t fix’ and ‘feature not a bug’ vibes here.

Here is a little piece about the day of my final Monkey Cage recording - a couple of weeks ago in beautiful #manchester www.bigissue.com/opinion/robi...

Nice to know that i will have plenty of work until I retire.

So, Fabric or SSIS, which would you rather? 🤔

Also a nice place to be, have a wonderful trip.

All the other cities I have visited in the last couple of weeks have been really quiet, here’s hoping that you have a relaxing rest of your trip. If you make it north of the border to a Scotland on this trip and fancy a catch up drop me a message.

Hope London and the UK treats you well on this trip.

Was coming here to say this 🤣

Happy #Caturday 😀

Drove past a bunch of sad looking Saltires zip tied to lampposts on the way home on Saturday. Aberdeen has a large number of flag shaggers and reform scum. I think independence would help us put them back in their box. Just need to make sure that as many people as possible show up to vote next year.

I’m of the opinion Microsoft has lost its way and on the path to a Boeing situation that they need course correct. I get that AI has a role to play in the modern workplace but stuff like this, the ‘copilot all the things’, recall and other things has me looking elsewhere until things settle.

I’m the same, I just want to do my job to the best of my ability and spend time on the farm with the horde of cats or with friends talking about nothing important but being present.

Same drudgery, new one percent.

Dog.exe has crashed… had a busy day project managing the splitting of firewood on the farm.

But it’s new and Shiny Ust, it must be amazing and you’re just using it wrong… #StillOnTheHypeCurve

Four black and white kittens on a desk in front of two computer monitors with blue backgrounds. One of the kittens is stepping off the desk with its front paws onto the arm of a chair.

Three black and white kittens and a black cat laying in the sun on the floor of a room.

One kitten laying down with its front paws under it looking at the camera while on a desk with stuff cat teddy’s behind it.

We now have 11 cats on the farm after taking Fluffy and her four little chaos engines in a couple of months ago.

Small black kitten with white toes in one rear foot laying in a cat hammock in front of a window with trees visible behind him.

Another addition to the household, little chap turned up starving in the farmyard on Saturday. Can’t be any more than 3 months old and loved his fuss, this makes me think that he was dumped, we are lucky he made it to us. I despise people who dump animals.

I wish, it would beat working with computers for a living 🤣

Four black and white fluffy kittens sat on a hammock attached to a window. They are looking out at trees and a countryside view.

Had a hammock full of kittens to contend with in the morning. They are missing my wife who has been away for for a couple of days.

Steph's Race for Life Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life Pretty Muddy to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single ...

My wife is taking part in a 5K assault course this weekend to raise money for @cancerresearchuk.org it would be great if anyone could add some support for her fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/stephs-...

Thanks Kellyn, being able to call on your knowledge and experience is invaluable.

I always thought it was more like this.

Can you define backlog items as haikus?

View downhill over grassland framed by trees which have not got any leaves on yet. Clear blue sky with some haze on the horizon.

The farm is nice today, a bit fresh but nice.
